LOL, It's not supposed to taste nasty. Did you put real champagne in there? I use Champagne emulsion to make my champagne cake and a little bit of champagne. I'm sorry I wasn't there on Sat. I will be in Richmond this Thursday maybe we can meet for coffee on my way back? Let me know.

Tamra, I had protein shakes for the duration of my pre-op diet. They were pretty good! I get them from Costco, I'll give you the info if you'd like when I go home. It is full of protein and 1g of carb. You can also do the EAS advantage protein shake. I can't do cottage cheese either so you are not alone lol.

Jes congratulations on your promotion! Girl enjoy yourself because this will all halt once you are banded. I don't eat ice cream much I love fried plantains same family with bananas and girl I haven't given up eating that yet, however I eat it in moderation. There somethings that they totally tell you not to eat after band but once you heal, you can eat almost anything in moderation and once every blue moon that's one of the reasons why I got the band versus GB. I need to take my own advice LOL. The good news is that my scale is happy again.

Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
Oh Pam, We will miss you indeed. Donna, i think there will be about seven or eight of us. Nicole, Tamra, Tina, Candra, Jes, Donna,Heather (are you coming?) Maria, Riley(possibly, I'll keep my fingers crossed :-)) and me of course lol. Analynn nice to meet you. We are cool Divas over here! Hey joing us this weekend if you'd like and are able to. Like Donna said before we the "sisterhood of the traveling bands" we ought to write a book lol.

Oh Riley it was good and I'm going to work out like a wild woman tonight to get rid of it. The funny thing is that before surgery, I wasn't a potato chips fan. I find that I am becoming a fan of foods that I didn't care for before. Anyone experiencing that?
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
Tamra that's what happens when you eat right. I had the same experience today I ate a small bag of potatoe chips and my pouch did not like it at all, i felt sick to my stomach!!!!
-
Kaiser Richmond Pre-op
